Course content
Due to international migration flows the Norwegian society has become more socially and culturally diverse. What diversity means and how we as a society should respond to this diversity are therefore fundamental questions. Integration has in this regard often been presented both as a goal and a means. But what do we mean when we talk about, work with or contribute to integration? And on which understandings of culture and society do various understandings of the word integration rest? The course will provide knowledge about various aspects of diversity and integration as historical and cultural phenomena and as transcultural dynamics.
A humanistic perspective on equality and difference provides the basis for raising new issues and new ways of exploring cultural and societal understandings. In this course this is done through thematic organized project work.
